Do coconut oil and cacao butter ever go rancid?

Date: March 24, 2015 02:47PM I've had a few tubs of cacao butter and coconut oil as well as the butter for I don't eve know how long. I would hate for it to go to waste. Unlike some of the more delicate oils, do these fats ever turn rancid? Also would it help the degradation process at al by putting them in the freezer or fridge or is room temperature just as effective at preventing and degrading .
Thanks Re: Do coconut oil and cacao butter ever go rancid?

Date: March 24, 2015 02:52PM I also have a lot of cacao paste too. I mean I would prefer to keep it out if he freezer since our freezer space is getting a bit compromised but I honestly don't know when I'll be using all of this stuff
Thanks again for any comments Re: Do coconut oil and cacao butter ever go rancid?

Which bothers me since I have heard how stable it is. After a while raw organic extra virgin coconut oil seems to get a "cheezy" odor and off taste and even develops MOLD (!) around the edges of the jar and such.

Everything, whether living or not, wears out, deteriorates, decays, disintegrates, and is destroyed. This is the absolute end that all beings will face one way or another, and according to the law, the process cannot be avoided."

Date: March 24, 2015 06:20PM I bought some raw organic cacao butter to make chocolate but I never used it. THis is my plan for it: to melt at room temperature, along with coconut oil and blend the two. This makes a wonderful smelling massage oil. Cacao butter is supposed to be very good for the skin.

Date: March 24, 2015 06:23PM The saturated fats like coconut oil are far less prone to going rancid than the mono and polyunsaturated fats. So if one was to use fats to cook in (not a good idea) one would likely prefer coconut fat over olive oils because of less free radical generation from the saturated fat because of it being a more stable fat when exposed to oxygen and heat. www.thesproutarian.com Re: Do coconut oil and cacao butter ever go rancid?

It has never been refrigerated or frozen. It is stamped "packed on 5/25/2010". It is stamped "best before 5/25/2012" I just opened it for the first time since I bought it and it still tastes fresh and smells of fresh coconut. If you never double dip into the containers or introduce any moisture into the containers (never use wet or damp spoons) they will last "indefinitely" if you keep them indoors under stable conditions. They will not mold if kept clean and dry in other words. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
